Gideon’s Challenge – Solar Plexus

Mount BakerSolar Plexus

Its not a mountain
it’s a volcano
stable
in a dormant state
waiting
with movement
far below
undetected
by anyone watching
but there
and ready to blow
when
least expected

Gideon’s Challenge – Relief

Summer SunsetRelief

An exhale
as knots loosen
and muscles
unnoticed
in their burn
ease up
into a sensation
of melting
as the news
comes
is good
and the tension
of bracing
for the worst
lets go

Gideon’s Challenge – Resurrecting Hope

Everything will BEE okayResurrecting Hope 

Sometimes
hopelessness
touches down
like a disease
spread through
momentary contact
and nothing
feels okay
until
a little note
catches your eye
and reminds you
to take a breath
and let muscles
relax

Gideon’s Challenge – Fragmented

Saltwater LichenFragmented

Jigsaw puzzles
are supposed
to fit together
each piece
falling into place
until
it becomes whole
and the
full picture
visible.
Today
my brain
is not so uniform
as all that

Gideon’s Challenge – Ripe

Ripe ApplesRipe

I want to
feel
your flesh
under my teeth
as I slick
my tongue
against
your skin
then
bite in deep
and
make you
mine

Gideon’s Challenge – Sunday Mood

Tortie Cat@FatMumSlim August #FMSPAD Challenge
Prompt for August 24th : Sunday Mood | #FMS_SUNDAYMOOD25

Sleepy morning
summer heat
and ac on the go
we linger on the bed
together
relaxing
while fan blows
knowing
sooner or later
we’ll have to
rise and shine
but taking a minute
right here and now
for some lazy time
